Issued WaveCatcher software for 743 Digitizer Family

Made by CNRS/IN2P3/LAL, WaveCatcher is a Windows compliant Graphical User Interface for single-board friendly management of the of the 743 digitizer family (8/16 Channel 12-bit 3.2 GS/s Switched Capacitor Digitizer).

In a multi-tab frame, the program permits to configure and control the whole hardware functionalities, such as setting the sampling frequency, selecting different trigger modes, program the waveforms and charge data acquisition, use the internal channel pulses, etc.

WaveCatcher also features specific menus dedicated to on-line measurements (rate, time and noise) and advanced histograms plotting. Graphical cursors, noise level, raw hit rates, charge amplitude and time measurements, time distance histograms between channels (fixed threshold and digital CFD methods), charge histograms, and FFT represent part of the controls available to the User.

Data saving of waveforms and/or measurements can be done in ASCII and Binary file formats for storage or off-line analysis.
